■  EUR/USD rises toward the major resistance at the 1.1150 level.

■  Technical indicators suggest a bullish momentum to reach the psychological level of 1.1200.

■  The psychological level of 1.1100 could act as key support following the seven-day EMA at 1.1041.


EUR/USD maintains its winning streak, with the Euro (EUR) gaining ground against the subdued US Dollar (USD). This trend is likely influenced by the anticipated dovish stance of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) on the interest rate trajectory. The EUR/USD pair trades around the 1.1110 level during the Asian session on Thursday.


The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals an overall positive momentum for the EUR/USD pair. The MACD line's position above the centerline and the divergence above the signal line indicates a bullish sentiment.


This positive momentum could inspire bulls of the EUR/USD pair to aim for a breakthrough above the five-month high at 1.1122. If successful, it may pave the way for the EUR/USD pair to explore major resistance at 1.1150, following the next significant level at the psychological level of 1.1200.


In addition to the positive momentum indicated by the MACD, the lagging indicator 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) positions above the 50 mark. This suggests a confirmation of the potential upward trend in the EUR/USD pair.


On the downside, the EUR/USD pair could find support at the psychological level of 1.1100, following the seven-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.1041. A break below the EMA could lead the pair to test the psychological support region around 1.1000, further navigating towards the region around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.0964.
